Escape to Paradise: Luxurious ESerenty Villa in Pangasinan!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. You want a review of "Escape to Paradise: Luxurious ESerenty Villa in Pangasinan!" that's actually honest and doesn't sound like it was written by a robot? Here we go. Forget the perfectly polished brochure – let's get REAL.
First Impressions & Getting There (AKA, My Glorious Failure to Be Prepared)
Okay, so "Paradise" in Pangasinan. Sounds dreamy, right? And the website pictures? Stunning. My expectations? Sky-high. My preparedness? Let's just say, less sky-high, more… grounded. I was picturing some breezy, easy-peasy arrival. Nope. Getting there was a journey. The website mentioned airport transfer, which I utterly failed to book. My bad. So, taxi it was! Thank god for Google Maps and the fact that Filipino drivers are generally amazing and patient. (And that the villa is thankfully, pretty accessible, more on that later.) Accessibility: It's mostly good! I'd rate it a solid 4.5 out of 5. The lobby is accessible, the main areas are generally wide and easy to navigate and the elevators are big enough for a wheelchair.
On-Site Shenanigans: Food Glorious Food, and a Pool That Stole My Heart
Alright, let's talk food. Because honestly, that's half the vacation, right? The on-site restaurants? They’ve got options! From Asian breakfast (which, FYI, is NOT just congee, though I love congee) to Western fare. I was a huge fan of the International Cuisine. Also, the poolside bar? Killer cocktails. I think I might have accidentally spent an entire afternoon there, watching the sunset. Dining, drinking, and snacking: 5/5! The a la carte menu in the restaurant was amazing, breakfast was buffet style (and HUGE, which I appreciate.) and I was so happy to see they have a snack bar!
The Pool. Dear God, The Pool.
Okay, so I need to gush about the pool. They have this one with THE VIEW. And it's gorgeous. I’m not usually a “pool person,” because I’m kind of a klutz and prone to near-drowning incidents. But this one… it’s got that "infinity edge" thing going on, and you feel like you're swimming right into the ocean. I spent a serious chunk of time just floating there, staring at the sky and letting the world melt away. Swimming pool [outdoor]: 5/5 - because it practically cured my existential dread.
Relaxation Station: Spa, Sauna, and the Great Body Wrap Debacle
“Escape to Paradise” is all about relaxation, and they’ve got the goods. They've got the works from massage to body scrubs. I went for a body wrap. Now, here's the thing: body wraps are supposed to be luxurious and soothing, right? Mine was… a unique experience. Let's just say the therapist was very enthusiastic with the exfoliating scrub. I'm pretty sure I shed a layer of skin. After the treatment, I was told to use the sauna (which by the way, smelled like a forest). I ended up finding the whole thing kinda… intense. Ways to relax: 4/5 - mostly because the body wrap itself was more like a body scrubbing. The massage was fantastic.
Cleanliness, Safety, and That Damn Hand Sanitizer (A Love-Hate Relationship)
Okay, let's get serious for a moment. These days, safety is key. And ESerenty Villa? They take it seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere! I mean, everywhere. It got to the point where I could practically smell it in my sleep. They clearly use anti-viral cleaning products and have a staff trained in safety protocol. They've got the whole nine yards, from the mandatory temperature checks, all the way to the staff’s masks and face shields. Not my fave, but I appreciate it. Cleanliness and safety: 5/5 - because peace of mind is worth its weight in hand sanitizer.
The Room (My Sanctuary, Even with the Slightly Busted Air Conditioner)
The room was amazing! I'm talking Available in all rooms: 5/5! The bed? Heaven. The view from my balcony? Gorgeous. They also have a lot of services available, like Laundry, and daily housekeeping. One tiny, tiny, minor complaint? The air conditioning in my room sounded like a particularly disgruntled lawn mower. But hey, it worked! Plus, the blackout curtains? Essential for those late-night/early-morning lounging sessions.
Internet: Trying to Stay Connected (and Failing, Gloriously)
The Wi-Fi was, well, Wi-Fi. Mostly functional. There were blips. There's also Internet access, Internet access – wireless, Wi-Fi [free], and Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! You can get an internet LAN connection if you prefer too. This isn't the place to try and run a major online business. Internet: 3.5/5.
For the Kids? (I Saw Some!)
I did see some families with kids. ESerenty appeared to be Family/child friendly and they offer Babysitting service which is great. They also have Kids facilities but I didn't see any kids meal options, which is a shame, but may have been available.
Other Stuff (The Little Things That Matter)
- Staff: Wonderful. Seriously, everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Yes! Plenty of ramps and accessible rooms.
- Cashless payment service: Super convenient.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check!
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Overall Vibe
Look, no place is perfect. There were a few minor hiccups and the air conditioner. But honestly, that's part of the charm. "Escape to Paradise" isn't a slick, corporate experience. It's a place with a soul. It's filled with those little imperfections that make it feel real and honest. It’s about the sunsets, the pool, and those moments of pure, unadulterated chill. This is the kind of place where you can let your guard down, forget your worries, and just… be.

Escape to Paradise: Namhae Melody Pension Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip, we're experiencing one. And trust me, with my track record, "experience" can mean anything from pure bliss to utter chaotic disaster. Let's see how it goes with this ESerenty Private Villa in Pangasinan, shall we?
ESerenty Private Villa Pangasinan: My Sanity-Testing, Sun-Kissed, Sandy-Toed Adventure (Maybe)
Day 1: The Great Escape (and the Great Packing Panic)
7:00 AM: Alarm blares. HATE alarm. Hit snooze. Repeat. (This is a recurring theme, FYI).
7:45 AM: Okay, finally up. Shower? Nope. Coffee? YES. Black, strong, like my resolve to actually enjoy this trip.
8:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Packing. The dreaded packing. Why is it always such a frantic scramble? Suddenly I need everything. “Do I need that inflatable flamingo? Probably not. Will I bring it? Absolutely.” This is where my perfectionist brain clashes with my "I'll deal with it later" heart. Throw in clothes, sunscreen that's definitely expired, a book I'll probably never read, and… is that a half-eaten bag of trail mix from last year? Eww.
10:00 AM: Finally ready-ish. Realize I forgot my chargers. Cue minor meltdown. Run around like a headless chicken. Find them. Breathe.
10:30 AM: Embark on the three-hour drive. Traffic is, as expected, a snarling beast. Mentally prepare to use the restroom even before getting in the car.
1:30 PM: Arrive at ESerenty. OH. MY. GOD. The pictures lied – it's BETTER. The villa is gorgeous! That pool… I already want to jump in, even though I haven’t officially checked in. The air smells of… well, it smells good. Like potential fun.
- Anecdote: The check-in process was smoother than expected. The staff were incredibly polite, but I felt a bit awkward, because I had forgotten the first time how to give my name haha I think i said "Hi, I am (pause…..) from (pause…..) (my name)", and the staff laughed. They probably do that as a common prank for tourists. LOL.
2:00 PM: Unpack, mostly (I'm leaving a bag for "Later Me"). Immediate change into swim gear. Pool time!
- Quirky Observation: The water is perfect. Not too cold, not too warm. Just… magical. I swear, I’m already feeling the tension melt off me.
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Pool bliss. Float, read a trashy novel I bought at the airport, and secretly judge everyone else in the pool (just kidding… mostly).
- Emotional Reaction: This is it. This is what I needed. Pure, unadulterated relaxation. I almost cried happy tears. (Don't tell anyone).
6:00 PM: Get ready to go to the beach.
7:00 PM: Dinner at a nearby restaurant. Ate too much. Regret it immediately. Food was good though!
8:00 PM: Back to the villa. More pool time under the stars. Feel like a freaking celebrity.
Day 2: Beach, Booze, and Maybe Regret?
8:00 AM: Wake up. Surprisingly not hungover! Victory! Stroll to the kitchen and make some cereal.
9:00 AM: Beach time! Head to Lingayen Beach (or whatever is the closest beach). Sun, sand, the whole shebang.
11:00 AM: Start to feel the sun burning my skin. OUCH. I said i packed sunscreen, but of course it was expired.
12:00 AM: lunch time! Eat at a nearby local restaurant.
Afternoon: More beach. Attempt to improve my tan (which I inevitably mess up).
- Messy Structure Warning: This is where things might get… blurry. Let's just say the cocktails were flowing. And maybe I forgot to drink water. (Bad idea, future me).
5:00 PM: Back to the villa. Take a cold shower and start feeling the effects of the previous hours.
7:00 PM: Dinner at the villa. More food!
8:00 PM: Watch a movie and pass out.
Day 3: Sundown, Sunset, and Saying Goodbye (Sob)
9:00 AM: Woke up. Still alive! Head at the villa.
10:00 AM: Have a quick breakfast.
11:00 AM: Go to the pool one last time.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: I don't want to leave! This villa… this peace… It's been amazing.
12:00 PM: Pack up. The dreaded packing again.
1:00 PM: Check out. One last look at the villa.
2:30 PM: Head home. Traffic is predictably awful. Reflect on the trip.
- Opinionated Language: Pangasinan is a hidden gem! The villa was paradise. Now, if only I could figure out how to make my life this relaxing all the time.
5:30 PM: Arrive back home. The real world beckons. Unpack (finally).
6:30 PM: Start planning the next escape. Because let's be honest, I need it already.
Important Considerations (Because I'm not completely irresponsible):
- Budget: Okay, okay, actual cost. The villa rental itself was [insert actual cost], plus food, drinks, and all that unnecessary travel shopping.
- Transportation: Driving myself. Avoid the expensive rides.
- Packing Essentials: Sunscreen (NEW and not expired!), bathing suit, book, chargers, comfortable clothes, cash (because sometimes those card machines break).
In Conclusion:
This trip was a mix of relaxation, overindulgence, and a healthy dose of chaos. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I change anything? Maybe bring more sunscreen. And less… well, you know. But overall, ESerenty Villa, you were a dream. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap.

Escape to Paradise: ESerenty Villa - The REALLY Real FAQs
Okay, spill the beans. *Is* this place actually paradise, or is it just Instagram filtered?
Alright, alright. Look, I'm gonna be honest with you. Paradise? Well... it's paradise-adjacent. Let's say it's *aspirational* paradise. The pictures? They're gorgeous. The villa itself is stunning. Architecturally, it's a win. Think clean lines, that *vaguely* Balinese vibe, and a pool that practically *begs* you to dive in. I actually did almost dive in headfirst on arrival, I was so giddy! But, and there's *always* a "but," right? It's not… pristine. It's like a supermodel who occasionally forgets to put her shoes on. The occasional gecko decides the dining room is HIS domain. Don’t be surprised. And sometimes, the internet… well, let’s just say it took a vacation of its own. Mostly, though, it's pretty darn close to promised paradise, once you get over the slight mess, you're really okay.
The pool. Tell me about the pool. Is it, like, picture-perfect pool party material?
Oh, the pool. Okay, the pool is… *chef's kiss*. It's glorious. It's that perfect turquoise, sparkling in the Pangasinan sun. It’s deep enough for a proper dive, and shallow enough to lounge with a cocktail and pretend you’re a mermaid (I tried, don’t ask). It's big. It’s inviting. Honestly, I spent *hours* in that pool. Like, got legitimately pruney fingertips hours. Did I throw a pool party? No. Because I was too busy *enjoying the heck out of the pool*. Did I want a pool party? Maybe. But seriously, the pool is the star of the show. It's even better than in the photos, which I didn't think was possible. It's truly a luxury I don’t get to experience often.
What's the food situation? Do I need to pack a suitcase full of instant noodles?
Alright, food. This depends. You can definitely cook for yourself, which is great because the kitchen is actually well-equipped. They have all the modern stuff. A whole fridge. You can load up on groceries at the market, which is a short drive away. I'm no culinary expert, but I managed to whip up a decent (and edible!) breakfast. Now, here's the thing… don't leave your food unattended. I made a sandwich. I turned my back *for a second*. A tiny, furry, *very* persistent critter swiped half of it. Lesson learned. Also, they offer a cook for hire - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Actually, seriously, DO IT. Local Pangasinan food is delicious, and you’re on vacation, let someone else work and enjoy the heck out of the meal! The cook made this amazing kinilaw - OMG, you have to try it. So, in short: pack the noodles *if* you're a picky eater, but seriously, explore the local cuisine!!! It’s worth it.
Are there any... annoyances? Things I should be prepared for?
Okay, the "annoyances". Let's be real, no place is perfect, right? Well, first, Pangasinan is hot. Like, *really* hot. Make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen and, if you're anything like me, a personal fan (I'm a wimp, okay?). Second, as mentioned, internet. It’s spotty. Accept it. Embrace the digital detox. Seriously, it’s actually kinda nice. Third, bugs. They’re there. You’re in nature. Expect them. I was bitten. It happens. And finally, the roads getting there aren't exactly smooth sailing. Be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride. But honestly? These are minor inconveniences. The reward – that gorgeous view, the stunning villa, the relaxation… it’s totally worth it. And seriously, embrace the digital detox. Your email will still be there when you get back. I promise.
Is it kid-friendly? Do I have to leave my angels at home?
Kid-friendly? Hmm. It depends on your kids and your parenting style! The pool is a glorious, but also a hazard. Definitely keep a very close eye on the kiddos around the pool AT ALL TIMES. The open spaces are great for kids to run around, and there's a lot of room. There are no specific play areas, but plenty of room for adventures. Honestly, it could be amazing for kids, or a logistical nightmare if you've got wild ones. Think about the type of vacation you want. Are you okay with keeping a constant eye on them? Then yes, it's probably great. If you envision a chill, relaxed getaway, maybe consider a babysitter or a break from the little monsters! The verdict? Carefully consider your kids and their needs. This is about you too. Is it a place to reconnect with your loved ones? Sure! Is it a place to get some serious relaxation? Yes! But parental chill depends on you!
Okay, what about the location? Is it actually isolated and peaceful?
Isolated? Yes and no. It feels incredibly secluded, which is a huge part of its charm. You've got the ocean a short walk away, a gorgeous view, and the sounds of nature. It's perfect for escaping the city chaos. You'll feel a million miles away from everything. Literally. The nearest town isn't *too* far, which means you can head into town for anything you might need. It's the best of both worlds. The solitude and peace without being completely cut off from civilization. I needed that, and I was honestly relieved. You’re close to other tourist spots like Bolinao and Hundred Islands. So… yeah. Peaceful, yes. Lost in the wilderness? No. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. (Sorry, couldn't resist the Infinity War reference!).
Should I book this place? Give it to me straight!
Alright, here's the REAL truth. Should you book it? YES! Assuming you’re okay with a bit of imperfection, and you’re looking for a luxurious, relaxing escape. If you dream of Instagram perfection, and are horrified by the idea of a rogue ant, maybe not. But if you appreciate beauty, crave tranquility, crave an amazing pool and epic food, and are willing to embrace the occasional quirk, then absolutely, 100% book it. Just pack your sunscreen, your sense of adventure, and a willingness to relax. You'll get that amazing experience. Trust me. I’m already trying to figure out when I can go back. Just… you know… maybe I’ll bring a net for the sandwich-stealing critters next time. And a bigger fan. Don't laugh!
